Ärzte Statt Böller + New Year's trip
Jan. 7th, 2007 04:52 pmNot having a fast internet connection really sucks, thank God for internet cafes. So, I finally managed to upload all the pictures from my trip to Germany:
The Traceelords, Yard Club Köln, 30.12.2006
Ärzte Statt Böller, Rheinenergie Stadion Köln, 31.12.2006
New Year's trip, 29.12.2006 - 02.01.2007 (Friends only)
And the video I took at midnight. Prost Neues Jahr! It looked better than this, but Photobucket messed it up. =/
Some of the best moments from the concert, in no particular order:
( Wir woll'n Die Ärzte sehen... )
Almut went home on the 1st January, while Nicole, Chris and I stayed in Cologne for another day and slept at the cheapest hostel ever. Luckily we got a 6-bed room all for ourself, as most people had already left. There were still Ärzte fans around though, even in our hostel, and it was just so nice to catch a glimpse of each other, recognising the T-shirt or scarf and just smile, it really makes you feel part of a community. I could go on and on talking about this, it was the theme of my degree thesis after all, the sense of belonging created by music.
Then on the 2nd we went back to Frankfurt and had a really funny journey by train, taking silly pictures and talking about anything that came into our mind. I walked Nicole and Chris to their hotel near the station and made my way back to the bus stop (with Nicole calling "Remember: Rod loves you!" after me :D) The bus was already full and I was afraid I would miss my flight, as the next one would leave an hour later, but since there were a lot of other people waiting, they just had two buses leaving at the same time.
I was both happy and sad: happy because I'd had the best New Year's of my life and was still excited about everything; sad because it was over and I knew I would miss everyone.
Well, that's it. God, I can't believe it's already a week ago. *sigh* I'll just go for a bit of shopping. Yay sales! :D
